the O'Brien Estate.

WASHINGTON, October 14th.-Mrs. Louisa Tur-
burke of 623 Sixth street, southwest, is inveSti
eating her relationship to the late California
bonanza king, William o Brien. When million
aire o Brien died he left several millions be-
hind him and it is said there are still 2,0000 900
whose ownership is in doubt. Millionaire Flood
is one of the executors and has charge of that
portion of the fortune not yet paid over to the
heirs. Some time ago Mrs Turburke wrote to
the Clerk of the Probate Court i'll San Francisco
for information, and her letter was published
in San Francisco, and with it a statement that a
man named Michael OBrien had laid claim to
the estate and had received his share.
Mrs. Turburke has found evidence to prove
that her father, Michael O'Brien, and the mill
ionaire William o. Brien, were brothers, and
has the word of prominent Californian tnat
the man who is said to have collected the resi-
due of the o'Brien estate was an imposter
named James o. Brien. No legal steps have yet
been taken. but Mrs. Turburke says she is 60
ing to push the case, and that she has received
assurances that if she can prove the relation
ship between her father and the deceased mill
ionaire there is large fortune awaiting her.

WASHINGTON. October lith.-[Special Very
little credence is given here to the claim of
Mrs. Louise Turburke, wife of Policeman Jas
Turburke, that she is a niece of the late VIM.
u Bren of San Francisco and entitled 10 half
interest in his estate. Mrs. Turburkes maiden
name was o Brien, and she says she is a niece
of the late o. Brien, the California millionaire
Mrs. Turburke says her father, Michael o Brien,
and William o. Brien were brothers and were
both born in Queens county, Ireland, and came
to America with their parents ana settled in
northern New York. William went to Cali
fornia and became one of the most successful
men on the slope, but her father remained in
the East and they became estranged from each
other.
When VIM. o. Brien died the part of his estate
due his sister was promptly paid over, while
his late partner Flood, as administrator, held
the remainder in trust for Michael OBrien.
Some time since Mrs. Turburke wrote to the
PROBATE Court in San Francisco, asking for in
formation about the estate, and her letter was
printed in the San Francisco Cal, with the
statement that Michael OBrien had claimed
and received his share of the estate.
II can prove" said Mrs. Turburke, "that
my father was the elder brother of Vim. o Brien,
and that he never was in California in his life,

CALIFORNIA LANDS.
Extracts from the Annual Report of the
United States Land Commissioners.

Copyright. 1887, by tie California Associated Press
WAshINGToN, october th-lSpecial. THE
Commissioner of the General Lanu Office has
issued his annual report. Speaking of Califor-
mia, he says: The rejection of the surveys of
many townships. found upon examination to
have been fraudulently executed has caused
large amount of correspondence between the
Suryeyor-General and settlers in the rejected
townships, who are constantly asking when
resuryeys will be-ordered The greater part OF
the unsurveyed land in California that is now
regarded as surveyable is considered very val
liable, consisting OF bruShy hills, producing the
best vines and choicest fruits, and great de-
mand exists for surveys of such lands. The
surveyor-General urges that higher rates for
surveys be allowed, in order to prevent fraud
and collusion induced by surveyors relying
upon interested parties for assistance. When
legal rates for surveys are insufficient, an in
creased clerical force is necessary for the cur
rent work and to enable copies of field notes
required for District Land Officers and certified
copies tor United States Courts to be furnished,
ana also for making correct indexes of the
field notes of existing SURVEYS

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.
Matters to Be Discussed at the Approach
Ing Fisheries Conference.

WASHINGTON, October 14th.-The Department
of State has been officially advised of the ap
one of the British Fisheries Commissioners.
This last appointment, it is believed, completes
the British Commission, which will consist of
Joseph Chamberlain, Sir Lionel West British
Minister to the United States) and Sir Charles
Tupper. 1t is learned at the Department of
State that the approaching negotiations will be
confined to the subject of the fisheries and that
this Government has never contemplated or
proposed discussion of the subject of com
mercial union by the negotiators.
In respect to the published statements that
the British Commissioners intend to offset our
claim of jurisdiction over the waters of Behring
Sea by claim to the Canadian waters lying be-
tween the headlands, it is stated authoritatively
that the Department of State has never taken a
position that could be construed as either as.
serting or denying any right of Jurisdiction over
the waters of Behring Sea.

DESTRUCTION BY SALT MINING.-The
extensive subsidences at Northwich, Eng
land, according to Thomas Ward, have no
other cause than the pumping of brine for
the manufacture of white salt. The up
per- bed of salt lies beneath about fifty
yards of mari; the lower bed, separated
from the first by ten yards of mari, is over
thirty yards thick. The sinking was first
noticed about 1770, century after the first
discovery Of salt, and has progressed rapidly
since. Much property has been destroyed
and large lakes have been formed-one
having an area of 100 acres, and all depths
up to forty-6ve feet.

The Worlds Champion Ball Contest
Nearly Tie.

NEW YORK, October 14th.-The first game in
the East for the worlds championship between
the Detroit and St. Louis clubs was played at
Washington Park, Brooklyn, to-day. There
were 10000 spectators The weather was very
chilly. When the teams appeared on the field
they received a welcome and enthusiastic
plaudits in turn, although it looked as though
the people rather favored the League team.
As Brooklyn is an Association city, this sign
could not be accounted for, except in explana-
tion that perhaps: the townsmen were not
altogether pleased that the st. Louis men should
have attained such a pronounced lead in the
race with their fellows. The spectators were
not altogether satisfied for the game, in a large
majority of the innings was OF the mechanical
order. Ifever the stereotyped phrase, ''It was
